Camaro crashes at 220mph
Back in March 2013, a 2800hp Chevrolet Camaro (which was obviously known as the world's fastest one) has been totally wrecked while attempting a +220mph (+350 kph) run during the Texas Mile event; 10 months after the terrible crash we get to see for the first time a video crash which show the Camaro losing the control and rolling over at a ridiculous speed.

Veyron Vitesse WRC hits 408km/h!
With a top speed of 408,84km/h, the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse World Record Car (pretty long name, isn't it?) is the world's fastest convertible in the world. EVO's Harry Metcalfe had the opportunity to attend the exclusive event in which Bugatti sets the world record in Germany at VW's 21km oval private test track. The full report by EVO includes the onboard footage of the Vitesse's record run, an interview with chinese driver Anthony Liu and Harry himself driving it at 350km/h. In order to reach this important goal, the Vitesse WRC produces 1200hp and 1500nm, the same amount of power of the SS WRE.

A special Koenigsegg at Geneva
At the contrary of the most famous automotive manufacturers such as Ferrari and Lamborghini, Koenigsegg is not a huge factory with a large production of vehicles. After 10 years since its foundation, Koenigsegg is ready to celebrate at Geneva the creation of their 100th hypercar that is called Hundra (obviously, in swedish it means " Hundred "). This special one-off Agera has a full body made of bare carbon fibre with highlights of 24-karats gold!

2012 Jaguar XFR-S
Jaguar is ready to debut next week at Los Angeles Auto Show with their fastest saloon car ever made, the XFR-S. This future rival of the most powerful saloons such as the BMW M5 and Mercedes E63 AMG, has been developed at Nürburgring and it will be lighter and with a better aerodynamics than the XFR, with the use of a massive rear wing, a bigger diffuser, a different front bumper and with the use of more carbon fibre. Official specs haven't been revealed yet, but maybe the same V8 engine of the XFR could be pumped up to 550hp. Jaguar has released an official teaser, but a few pics have been posted on internet about an XFR-S with a slight camouflage at a local gas station at Nürburgring.

Revealed: Lamborghini Aventador Roadster
Just 24h after my post regarding the spy shoots of the Lamborghini Aventador Roadster, Lamborghini has released the official pictures of what is probably the hottest roadster of the moment! The roof of the Aventador Roadster is composed by two carbon fibre compoments whose weight is approximately 12kg, this roof is much more practical and easy to use than the tragic one of the old Murcielago Roadster. The design of the engine bay has been modified to allow the roadster configuration and a better cooling, the heart of the car is still the same, a massive 6.5L V12 with 700hp and 690nm, the classic 0-100kph acceleration is slightly slower, and it takes 3 seconds, top speed is still 350kph.

World's fastest street legal car!
The Ford GT is a pretty good supercar, but if you tune it, it can really be badass. Recently, a twin turbo Ford GT with the incredible power of 1700hp has set a new Guinness World Record, by accelerating up to 283.232 mph (455.82 km/h) in a standing mile! With this astonishing result, this Ford GT modified by Performance Power Racing is street legal, and so it's the world's fastest one!
The video of the world's fastest Ford GT didn't showed us much action about the record attempt, so why not, let's take a look at another recent attempt of another modified Ford GT, this time by Hennessey Performance which sets up a top speed record at Texas Mile with a 263.3 mph (423,74 km/h) run. In the video we can enjoy the onboard camera and an external shoot of the GT.

Lamborghini Nova
Just a couple of days before the media day of the 2012 Paris Motor Show, Lamborghini has released a teaser video to something very interesting. Even in this motor show, the brand will attract the attention of journalists and petrolheads, because there's something new coming soon.

Ferrari F70 Spied again
A very interesting video about the Ferrari F70 has appeared on YouTube, the dutch spies from Speedspot had a close up with the prototype of the future Enzo replacement in the italian countryside not so far from Maranello. Once the two technicians of Ferrari realized to be in the focus of the cameras, they quickly covered the car and watched the spies not really with a friendly smile.

Mclaren X-1 revealed!
Mclaren debuts today at Quail with a world debut, it's one-off based on the MP4-12C and it's called X-1. The car has been commissioned by a wealthy man from Middle East, who knows if we will manage to see it around Europe next summer! The whole body is made of carbon fibre and it's the result of a massive trasformation that really makes very difficult to notice that this car is underneath an MP4-12C. Though it's still an MP4-12C, the car required a lot of intense testing on the road and at Idiada racetrack in Spain and 2 years and half to build this controversial, unique creation.

SSC Ultimate Aero XT
Back in 2006, Shelby Supercars introduced the american response to the Bugatti Veyron. Indeed, it achieved the fame in 2007 by beating the famous top speed of the Veyron by 3kph, for a total of 410kph. The record came back to Bugatti with the introduction of the Veyron SuperSport WRE and its incredible top speed of 434kph, still an unbeaten record. Before to the start of the production of the new Tuatara hypercar, the company has decided to close the era of the SSC with an hardcore version that will be hardly forgotten. The new SSC Ultimate Aero XT has the target to recapture the top speed record with its top speed of 440kph. Thanks to the massive use of aluminium and carbon fibre, the XT weights just 1130kg and it's moved with a 7.0L twin turbo V8 engine that produces 1300hp. The SSC is not going away in silence, let's see if it will be able to get on nerves again the germans.

That's how 62 Ferrari F40s looks together
A legend, an icon of the Prancing Horse. The Ferrari F40 is considered as one of the best Ferrari ever made, an exciting supercar with no luxury or even the ABS. This fantastic machine is celebrating this year its 25th anniversary, and for the occasion sixty-two (yes, 62!) F40 owners joined the british Silverstone racetrack for an epic meet. This video make it looks like it's an affordable car, but actually if you want to buy one, average price tag for one of these is about 400.000€.
